An Overview of Anonymous Routing ALERT Protocol

Abstract — In Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET),for security purpose anonymous routing protocol used. This protocol hides nodes original identity from outsider, so that observer cannot threaten the security of network. There are few existing anonymous routing protocol available for MANET. From thse some are relying on hop-by-hop encryption or redundant traffic, but they are having high cost and provide low anonymity. Therefore to provide high anonymity protection with low cost, propose an Anonymous Location Based Efficient Routing Protocol. In this protocol, given network dynamically partition into zones. Every zone having nodes which are act as intermediate nodes.These nodes get randomly selected for routing so that observer cannot indentify route.For anonymity ALERT hides mainly source and destination identity using pseudonym which changes frequently. And ALERT also hide route between source and destination. With this ALERT also having stratergy against intersection attacks
